Honored to have been invited to speak at a monthly JDRF (Juvenile<\/em> Diabetes Research Foundation) meeting, to share\u00a0old and new information is exquisite, enlightening, encouraging!\u00a0 Not all attendees were diabetic but attended in order to learn more about the increasing pandemic<\/strong> of T1D (Type One Diabetes<\/em>).\u00a0 That in itself is a wonderful acknowledgment.<\/p>\n

Diagnosed in 1959 with this disease, my life is constructed, maneuvered and manipulated – by me – around and for my life with diabetes.\u00a0 Oftentimes embarrassing and misunderstood, the JDRF organization is a welcome addition to positivity.\u00a0 People know what I’m talking about; people want to learn and appreciate this incurable conundrum.<\/p>\n

Having written and published four enlightening books on the subject, sales oftentimes exceed expectations.\u00a0 I am delighted to share that many books were once again sold at and during this particular occasion.<\/p>\n

My Diabetic Soul – An Autobiography<\/span> <\/strong>is\u00a0my first\u00a0personal work of art.\u00a0 It took me seven years to write it.\u00a0 The title was specifically chosen due to\u00a0my actually being able to relate and recognize that I do have a soul, a spirit, when\u00a0I was six years old, attending the “Clara Barton Birthplace Camp” in North Oxford, Massachusetts, in 1964.\u00a0\u00a0Nine consecutive summers of my childhood were spent there learning, sharing, experiencing, growing – with others – and this disease.\u00a0 My Diabetic Soul – An Autobiography<\/span> is a 304 page\u00a0historically amazing\u00a0account of life with this disease beginning in 1957; pictures inclusive; ISBN-13:978-0-9822030-9-5 and (e-book) -10: 0-9822030-9-8; $15.95; available at Amazon, CreateSpace, Smashwords, and libraries across the country; #buckroth..<\/p>\n

Me & My Money…a child’s story of<\/em> diabetes<\/span> <\/strong>is a fictional account of a specific T1D, aged 8.\u00a0 The story line goes that said child saves her allowance to adopt a puppy which then is also diagnosed with diabetes.\u00a0 Another learning experience, this raises awareness of diabetes in\u00a0animals.\u00a0\u00a0Me & My Money…a child’s story of<\/em> diabetes<\/span> is a\u00a0104-page illustrated chapter book; ISBN-13:978-1490354873 and (e-book) -10: 1490354875; $14.00; easily available\u00a0at Amazon, CreateSpace, Smashwords, and libraries across the country; #buckroth.<\/p>\n

Me & My Money Too…a child’s story wit<\/em>h diabetes<\/span> <\/strong>is the second book in this series, also a fictional account of the same characters.\u00a0 However,\u00a0grave, life threatening\u00a0circumstances are introduced due to one of\u00a0many diabetes complications along with the introduction of a new character.\u00a0 Also an illustrated chapter book, the ISBNs are -978-1500316327 and (e-book) -10:1500316326; $16.00; available at the same sources listed above.\u00a0 View #buckroth for details.<\/p>\n

Kisses for Cash Kali’s story…T1D meets T2D Book Three<\/span><\/strong> concludes the series, introducing new characters in the life of this T1D and her dog, Money<\/em>.\u00a0 One is a Grandmother, another is a dog, Cash<\/em>!\u00a0 A healthy lifestyle is encouraged for all members in and out of this family setting; it is another story-book of knowledge, happiness, and learning about daily functions with T1D and T2D (Type Two Diabetes).\u00a0 Amazing if I may say so myself.\u00a0 Kisses for Cash Kali’s story…T1D meets T2D Book Three<\/span> is also an illustrated chapter book with 116 pages; ISBNs-13:978-1535349888 & (e-book) -10:1535349883; $18.00; easily available online and your local library(ies) by request.<\/p>\n
